So you run it outside and just pipe the warm air in through the flex duct? Looks like a nice systemView attachment 623213Second year using one and it will cook you out if you want it to. I run mine off of a deep cycle marine battery and keep it charged up with a 100w solar panel. I do have a 1,400 watt harbor freight generator/inverter as a back up that I put a battery trickle tender on if needed. Heater on low 8° c and I believe goes up to 32°c, but I've never slept with it on higher than 12°c. It uses about have a tank of fuel a night on that setting. I can't say exactly how much battery it uses as I ensure it gets charged back up daily by solar or generator.
I have the vevor and believe I got the plateau 5k to handle higher altitude (although I'm not sure it's truly needed).
I was trying to save space inside the tent, so that is why I put it outside coming in. I've never had to turn it up temperature setting wise, as I've only used it overnights between 20-40 degrees.So you run it outside and just pipe the warm air in through the flex duct? Looks like a nice system
You can splice the wires and extend your control screen and put it in the tent. My heater sites in shelf like enclosure and my controls are in the tent on a wood "night stand". I put connections in the splice so the stand and heater disconnect and easier to deal with.@DanimalW
Advantages of having it set up outside.
slightly quieter inside tent.
more room in tent/ less issue with bumping into it..
refueling is done outside. Less chance of spilling diesel inside tent.
disadvantage
should build some type of rain/storm cover for it.
have to go outside to turn on if you dont have a remote or Bluetooth.
have to go outside if error codes happen.
There's probably other one’s but those come to mind
it came in handy this week when my furnace drain froze causing issues

Which brand/size were you using? That sounds perfect to take the chill off during Sept archery season.Our tent is quite a bit larger. Running one on medium-high kept inside temps 20-30* higher inside. I think we were in the low teens outside the tent.
Helps to pull warmer air from inside the tent also
